Is the Northstar 300 the cousin of the Cherokee CBS1000 ??? Seems like I saw a reference to a Northstar radio being very simliar to my CBS1000. I know the AE 497 is really similiar....

This is an 8 year old post. There were a couple things not answered. To get good modulation, the final can't be maxed out. Drop the DK down to 4w this will let the final swing with modulation. The mod adjustment is like "Night Crawler" said, VR14, and I'll go along with 295, a Astatic mic will bring up the mod as long as it is adjusted for it.
